It's time to post! For today's blog post, I will be briefly talking about Ranfren. I won't go into too much detail, since it isn't exactly anime-related and it's also a bit controversial. But for those of you who don't know, Randal's Friends (shortened to Ranfren) is a web-based comic series featuring Randal Ivory and his brother Luther. It's a bit weird, and has quite a few anime references in it. It was created quite some time ago now, but it's still being made to this day. It's recently resurfaced and spiked in popularity, and it even seems to be popular in the Japanese community. I recommend checking it out if you like edgy, mature, and strange things. But keep in mind this isn't for children. It has dark humor and occasionally serious issues, so don't read it if you're underage. But for everyone else, I'll be including the link to the official website below. I may also talk about this in a bit more detail some other time, especially since it does have quite a few anime references in it. But for now, enjoy!

Why wasn't the Yo-kai Watch anime very popular? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Yo-kai Watch, although originally just seen as a Pokemon rip-off, eventually became rather popular and managed to get a decently sized fanbase. The games sold well, and eventually the anime received an English dub and was released in America. Even though the English translation received mixed reviews, the anime actually did rather well. It gained many devoted fans, and people often looked forward to seeing the new episodes. The episodes were released a little slowly, and the first season was cut into two seasons. But the amazing voice acting and fun episodes made up for it. Even the movie was well-received. And then came the budget cuts. Disney decided Yo-kai Watch wasn't doing as well as Pokemon, so they decided to make it worse. They replaced all of the voice actors with much cheaper ones, and released episodes even slower than before. It was a sudden and unexpected change that immediately drove the fanbase away. Fans even started petitions and tried contacting the original voice actors about the change, but nothing could be done about it. With new worse voices and lowering quality, nobody was interested in the anime anymore. Eventually Yo-kai Watch faded into obscurity, and fans were forever left with a ruined and abandoned anime. Sure you can watch the English sub version, but that doesn't help if you were watching it for the voices or if you have trouble reading and watching at the same time. Part of me still hopes that this anime is given the respect it deserves someday, with the original voice actors. However, I doubt that will ever happen. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about ages in the Pokemon anime. Fans are often confused by the fact that Ash Ketchum never ages throughout the entire anime. They say it doesn't make sense for him to be the same age, and that he should've gotten older throughout the series. Some fans even theorize that Ash is older than he seems. However, I disagree. Ash doesn't age because he is supposed to relate to the target demographic, which is children. Keeping him young means kids can watch the series whenever and relate to the main character, even if the people who grew up with the series are essentially just disregarded and pushed away. Along with this, Ash isn't the only one who doesn't age. None of the characters ever get older, regardless of how much time passes. Even the adults in the series never change in appearance at all. Because of this, it makes sense that Ash also doesn't age. The main problem with this is that long-time fans no longer relate to him, which makes it more difficult for them to enjoy the series. The solution to this problem was to replace Ash in the newest installment, but obviously this upset a lot of fans. Personally I think they should've divided the series into two separate ones. One with an older Ash for the original fans, and the new one for new fans. Even if there were only specials featuring an adult Ash, it would likely still satisfy fans. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be listing a few ways to earn some gems in Twisted Wonderland. Gems are difficult to earn, though not entirely impossible. So, I wanted to list a few tips for you all today. Enjoy! 

1.) Completing quests in the general and weekly sections usually rewards you with five to ten gems each, with the general tab always giving you ten. 

2.) Playing through Twistunes not only counts towards the general quest, but each separate Twistune gives you five to ten gems for finishing their quests. Even event Twistunes give you gems for completing them.

3.) Logging in daily will reward you with different items, and you can earn multiple gems from logging in everyday for a week. 

4.) Reading vignettes for the first time will reward you with five gems for each vignette.

5.) And finally, taking lessons with the different characters will reward you with different items, including gems. Focusing on one character until their tasks are all completed is a good way to get some extra gems, as well as leveling up their cards. 

That's all I have for now. Hopefully this helps players who are struggling to earn some extra gems. Also be sure to get your monthly magical keys from the shops, and  good luck to everyone who's trying to get their favorite cards!
